Match Land: Puzzle RPG

While the Dev may not read this, I want to give a look into how this game plays on f2p. For context, I do have another account where I paid to play and I wanted to try an f2p experience. The game was initially downloaded here on May of 2023. It's been 6 months since. My progress had been completely stunted for over two months, however, I diligently logged on and used my energy to its fullest. The reason I've been unable to progress is due to my chest, store and event RNG not giving me anything better to build. I've been stuck in Rare units. The last unit, Pico, was fully built to level 100 yesterday. By the time I leveled it up, I had nearly 1400 copies of it. I sold this and gained over 200k and two levels. When I thought, "finally!," and opened a few more chests, I ended up with more Pico copies. The store from the special arena even shows blank spots, which only happens if you already have the unit maxed. And it seems I can't get any better or make any progress at all. The RNG is the biggest ripoff in this game, particularly even it comes to chest drops. Today, even the refreshed store is selling Pico copies. If the RNG favor to give players duplicates of existing heroes was not so crazy so chests were meaningful rather than meaningless, this game would have been better. Then again, the worst offender might be energy consumption. You use your energy for stages, and the cost can by 1/5th of your total energy or more at times. And whether you won or not, it's used up. Energy doesn't replenish any faster, you just gain higher max energy as you level. I've been stuck in a loop of auto completing my 3-starred stages for months, an act that lasts less than 20 seconds, and done special arenas if they're active. With being unable to replay stages you've 3-starred any other way, it's been boring. Personally, the best thing about the game is its unique gameplay. But if you can't play it, where's the joy? The game will test your patience unless you're opening your wallet on the daily, and it's not at all worth the actual value. A single hero is never truly guaranteed unless you put down close to $40, and one won't get you all that far either. So, play f2p and try your best to have other, more player-and-gameplay centric games and have this on the side for your bathroom breaks. Best of luck!

I’ve had this game for years and I’ve completed all stages and characters. At this point there are no more stages and the arena is all you can play. I wish there was a way to go back and play old stages without having to start a new game.

It’s a fun idea without an overly aggressive monetization model.
